Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] in my Obsidian vault.
I have just updated to Obsidian 1.13 and Quickadd 2.20 TK CHECK THIS
I want to create a quickadd choice that creates a new file from a template, asks me for several pieces of information in a one-page input modal, and then incorporates the answers into the file.
Some of the QuickAdd prompts in my template use this format:
{{FILE:Path/to/Folder|link|multi}}
When I run the choice, a one-page input modal appears which asks me to answer all the prompts in my template which start with {{VALUE}}.
But the prompts which start with {{FILE}} don't show up in the one-page input. Instead, after I fill out and submit the one-page input, a separate modal pops up for each {{FILE}} prompt, serially, asking me to select files from the designated folder.
The selector UI is a list of all the files in the designated folder, each with an individual on-off toggle. The list is not searchable and is difficult to manage with a keyboard. This becomes cumbersome when some folders have dozens of files in them.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
-
I would like for the {{FILE}} prompt to open a filepicker that functions much like the Quick Switcher, where you can type in the name of a file and a dropdown list of matching files will be filtered as you type, and can be selected through the keyboard.
-
I would like this to be incorporated into the one-page input modal, rather than opening a separate modal after the one-page input is submitted.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered, including workarounds using other Obsidian plugins.
I currently use Modal Forms, with the Note or Multiselect field types, for most things where I need to choose a file from a particular folder. Modal Forms has other UI drawbacks, which is why I'm exploring QuickAdd as an alternative, but it is able to incorporate a filepicker as described above into a one-page modal.
